Memory Library, is going to be an amazing ability for living in a world from my world''s fiction. I will have to re-watch all of the Smallville episodes to get ready for what is coming. But more importantly, all these new unlocked sections mean explanations of what they are, and I, like the rest of my origin world, need to know what they mean.
Experience - A divine resource gained by completing quests. Can be used in the exchange for new abilities, skills, and augments. Can also be used to improve existing abilities, skills, and augments. This resource is housed in the soul and will be transferred between reincarnations.
Psionic - This skill, ability, or augment is heavily associated with the mind. Using it causes mental fatigue or psionic energy depending on what is available.
Mental Library at will, or else I will have to get this psionic energy somehow, most likely through the exchange.
Quests - Objectives assigned by the System to allow the user to gain experience and grow. Objectives are heavily influenced by the user''s past actions, the universe the user exists in, and the user''s soul.
Exchange - A sub-system that can convert experience into Abilities and Augments. Can also be used to enhance existing Abilities, Augments, and Skills.

Memory Library frequently. Interacting with the search function only took a quick thought toward what I wanted to search for.
-Exchange
- Search: psionic energy
- Psi Pool (Psionic Augment): A pool of mental energy regenerated while the mind is at rest. Drawing on this energy is as natural as breathing although using too much too fast can result in mental exhaustion. The pool can be expanded through continued use. Base pool size is 100 psi. Cost: 500 Experience
- Psi Dimensional Link (Psionic Augment): A link is created between the user and a dimension of endless psionic energy. The user can channel energy from this dimension to fuel skills, abilities, or augments that require psionic energy. While accessing this energy is as easy as opening your eyes, controlling it requires great mental strength that can grow through repeated use. Cost: 1,000 Experience
- Psi Conversion (Psionic Ability): The user can use alternative sources of energy to create Psi energy. The conversion rate depends on the energy being converted and the Psi energy can only be stored within the user for a short time without a receptacle. Converting and storing the Psi energy causes mental fatigue of varying levels. Cost: 250 Experience
- Psi Domain (Divine Augment): The user gains the divine aspect of psionics. Psionic abilities, skills, and augments have no cost. Performing an action with psionics is just a matter of willing it. The user can grant blessings associated with psionic energy or curses that cause psionic energy to perform harmful actions to the target. Cost: 1,000,000,000 Experience
Psi Pool seems easy to use but is limited in power at first. Eventually, I might be able to expand it, but depending on the growth rate, it might be more efficient to just gather the experience for the Psi Dimensional Link. That option looks like it can grant a lot of power with limited control till I become experienced with accessing the energy. Then there is Psi Conversion. This ability does not allow me to use psionic energy easily or store it for extended periods of time, but it would allow me to create it from other sources such as batteries, electrical outlets, or maybe even calories. If I have an external source of energy, I might be able to immediately use it to power my psionic abilities. Considering how chaotic this universe can be, relying on always having an external source of energy would be poor planning, especially while I''m an infant. Speaking of being an infant I can now open my eyes again since the feeding session has ended. My mother has put away her breast and I can once again see my parents sitting above me.
Memory Library. Well, I guess now is as good a time to try out Memory Library. As soon as I decided to use the ability it was as if I took a step back from my own eyes. My vision narrowed and became blurry, then black. After a moment, blurry colors began to appear from the center of my filed of view, quickly spreading out and coming into focus. I was now standing in a large room facing a white marble fireplace . All along the hearth were etched patterns of vines and angels. Flanking the fireplace were two iron statues of a soldier and a roman senator. Above the fireplace was a faded tapestry depicting several people on horses, including a man with donkey ears. Wall to wall wooden book cases reaching so high that I cannot see the ceiling filled with books of all different colors and sizes. The floor was a combinations of light and dark lacquered brown wood oriented in square tiles filled with criss-crossing wooden slats to give the illusion of the tiles being woven together. Covering a majority of the floor was an oriental rug with a deep blue center and a three foot thick light red edge, all of which was covered in many colored shapes. In the center of the room was a closed book on a black marble podium.
